Whether it’s putting up a shelf or poaching an egg, Tick is the place where you can find, (or if you’re in a giving mood) share the answer. Our how-to stories are made up of seven-second steps with tools that allow you to produce clear, instructive content, lickety split!
Really interesting idea. How do the cards perform with SEO? Do you want to position yourself as a tool for other companies to use on their own site? Or as a platform like instructables.com
@sab8a Hi Sabba! 👋 We use the text description in each story as keywords for SEO and see ourselves more as a platform like an "instant instructables" where people can find answers immediately.

I’ve downloaded the app and just started exploring... what do you think is your key benefit over tutorial videos on YouTube or similar?
@dave_clarke1 Hi Dave 👋Awesome question. Our main benefits is that we're:
Faster to consume (no lengthy intros or filler) 🚀
Easier to follow (steps repeat until you need to move on) 🛠
Mobile optimised (works in vertical and on-the-go)
Creators can use our intuitive in-app editing tool as opposed to professional tools, then upload quickly as opposed to a heavy web-upload! 😊

Awesome work guys! Interactive content will be the new norm for e-learning. Have you thought of giving the app to kids or teachers in the classrooms? And for creators now they can see which parts of their how-to's people struggle with the most so they can make their content better!
Best of luck!
@yassinelanda Hi Yassine 👋 The potential use case of kids and teachers is 100% on our radar! We've also been looking at charities who want to share valuable safety or awareness information 🔥Thanks for the support!

Great to see Tick launched! Congrats!
I'd be interesting to know how do you plan on monetising your platform and allowing creators to monetise their accounts? Ads? Sponsored posts?
@winston_barlow Hi Winston 👋There are numerous options we are looking into in regards to monetisation. Sponsored posts are one of them, however we’re focussing on building a world-class product before we truly explore these options. Creators will be able to post links on their profile and at the end of their stories so can monetise that section as they want! We understand people gotta eat 😋

Can ‘tick’ make mortgages and tax as easy as the steps to fitting a lightbulb? If so, it’s my new hero
Omg that would be awesome! We'll look into the tax stuff 🤓Might be hard to do with sensitive information but there might be a work around!

love the upright format and quick swipe through; inspiring mission to get people off the internet!
Huge versatility for photos, videos, web images etc - look forward to seeing what people can create with it
Pros:
Ridiculously easy to create short-form videos for instruction;
Cons:
can you have a feature for converting longer form videos to Ticks?
Hi Graham! Yes, you can import longer videos and trim them to fit within the 7 second window, but it's not perfect yet!
We've got plans to make it even easier to import longer videos by speeding up steps, and a more powerful trimming tool. These will come later 😁
Cool concept, congrats on the work so far!
I like the design, super clean and easy to sign up. Search is very useful.
Videos were a bit slow to load but I'm sure you guys will do your best as you grow.
Is there are particular category/vertical you're going to push more?
Given it's a learning based platform are you going to do anything to manage quality control?
@latifbaluch1 Hi Latif, Thanks for the feedback! 🙌 Video loading time is something we're working on, we've overcome initial memory problems to get to this point, but we're looking to take it that one step further toward being super a slick app 🚀
In terms of categories we want to push DIY, (informational) travel, cooking and all round education 🛠 So if you have even a basic skillset in any of those, your Tick stories will be more than welcome!
Quality control will be managed through: A clear set of community guidelines, a reporting system that will allow users to flag inappropriate content (that breaks said guidelines) for moderation. With the UpTick and DownTick system the community can manage quality themselves by awarding credibility to useful Tick stories. We have a community team at this moment that is able to keep tabs on all the content currently, but as we scale we will adjust to manage our content bank more efficiently 😊
